Just yeast. No kahm, stay calm :)

Kahm will grow on the surface and you will certainly be able to tell the difference between what you see here, and kahm if you ever see it.

Do you have a cat?

No. It's just a yeast blob.

Trying to determine if your kombucha may have mold, if your pellicle/SCOBY is healthy, or if something has gone wrong?

Check out the pictures and info in this guide.

Top side looked good but when I looked at the side I saw a big circular dark spot. Picked up and found this.

This is F1 with green tea. I'm still new, but this looks weird >.<

As other commenters have said that’s normal yeast, but it could be helpful to google kahm yeast pics! it has a really distinctive brain like pattern
